I've been using this facial sunscreen several years for wearing to work, running errands and daily use. I would not use this product for extensive yard work, outdoor exercise or swimming; I would switch to something more water resistant. I like the way this product seems to visually minimize large pores and facial oiliness in the t-zone. I don't need to powder my nose throughout the day, and don't wear any makeup over it. I also like the way it goes on clear and doesn't rub off on clothing like some of the more opaque sunscreens do in warmer weather. I kept a partially used tube in my travel cosmetics bag, and found that over extended time, the primer becomes dry, and difficult to apply without crumbling. Also, it is challenging to squeeze out the last bit of primer without feeling that I've wasted some of it.

... but does do its job for the most part. I don't think it acts as a primer very well, but it nails it on the sunscreen portion. I don't sunburn with this on!

Great sunscreen that isnt too heavy and gives a nice SPF. I use this in the summer on the boat and never burn or feel too greasy!

I use it before putting on anything to prep my skin! It lasts all day and doesn't make my makeup look cakey.

Can separate in the tube, so squeeze it around a little before squirting it out. It has a slight yellow tint, but it doesn't cast a color on my face. It protects well and a dermatologist actually didn't notice my skin was oily when I visited the office. . .says something. I don't necessarily love the silicone-y texture, but it is a primer and it does it's job while adding necessary sun protection.

I was hoping this would be a great primer with a high spf, but I find myself using it when I'm not wearing any makeup as just sunscreen. It does an adequate job without makeup, but doesn't compare to other primers I've tried under my makeup. Overpriced for just a sunscreen, especially considering it isn't a mineral sunscreen.

This product does everything it claims to do. It comes out of the tube a bit like caulk, rather than a lotion or cream. However, it spreads fast and easy, just like a cream. No whitecast, no fragrance, no greasiness, no breakouts, and it really does have a blurring effect on imperfections. After application my skin looks fresh, brighter, and lightly matte. Moreover, my skin feels protected from NYC's pollution and the elements. I don't wear makeup but if I did, I can tell this would allow for smooth makeup application. Instead, I simply touch up during the day with a lightly tinted blotting powder. I'm 45, with an oily T-zone. I apply this as a last step in the morning, after cleansing and a light moisturizer. For a minimalist like me, who keeps my skin routine simple (no more than 3 or 4 products), this is a trusted product with multiple benefits. Worth the price.

This was recommended & did not disappoint. Goes on easily without greasy feel & has great coverage as well as primer benefits.

Soft and silky application.Its wonderful to have a sunscreen AND primer in one. My mineral makeup stayed on my face all day and looked i will definitely reorder this product.

I love this primer. Can stay outside for several hours and get some color on my shoulders through sunscreen, but not on my face. I have dry skin but in the summer get oily t-zone. This primer mattes my skin and lasts for a long time. My skin does look silky and smooth.
